Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes and really enjoyed following it through with the album. It makes you realise how difficult it is not only for the orchestra but also the conductor if they aren’t for the composer. I’m a pretty proficient pianist, songwriter and composer but the level of complexity at some moments is astonishing. Will have to go through it a number more times to pick up on more of the details. Not exactly a chore! Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit, that's what comes of trying to write a reply on your phone and getting interrupted lol. I meant to say that it makes you realise how difficult it is for the players given how difficult some of the music is technically, but also the conductor, who has to be able to determine which lines to bring out at each point along the way. Especially challenging where the whole orchestra is playing at once - of course, there's the mockup to get an idea, but even to ensure the right level of nuance and balance must still be difficult on virtually zero rehearsal. Amazing how often that it's a few broad horn chords which are the main focus but look so innocuous written down when so many others are playing runs or arpeggio figures, but it's all just accompaniment and orchestral colour.

Holko 9,526 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Well, they did "cheat" a bit by recording in sections to have full control of the mix later. Loert and Jurassic Shark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather wish he wouldn't do that, his music can stand up to being performed like contemporary symphonic music, albeit on a quite industrial scale, even if I guess it makes it easier for mixing in the film.

Jay 37,369 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Scoring films is a collaborative process and that technique could be something the director of the film wanted more than he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's none the worse for this style of recording and I'm sure having a good level of control is useful as it means that one minor fuckup doesn't ruin an entire take for the full orchestra.

MaxTheHouseelf 324 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 For the europeans: Schott Music will have HTTYD 1 from Omni Music Publishing in stock beginning of May, so no need to pay these ridiculous shipping costs and taxes (shipping to Germany is free from 25€ and just 7,50€ to other european countries). More titles from Omni will be available in the future as well.

I wanted to order HTTYD 1 + 2 a few days ago (from Italy) but the shipping cost for DHL was 85 USD, absolutely ridicolous, and the other options were even more expensive. I decided to wait, hoping for this to happen. So, I will just have to wait until May... I hope they will put in their store also all the scores by Goldsmith.
